What is the net force acting on a 12-N falling object when it encounters 12-N of air resistance?

The net force would be zero, which means the falling object would no longer be accelerating, and would be falling at terminal velocity, which is a constant velocity. Weight is a downward (negative) force and air resistance is an upward (positive) force.
Fnet = weight + air resistance = -12N + 12N = 0N

What are the forces acting on a falling object on earth?
Gravity and air resistance.
What forces act on a falling object?
The forces acting on a falling body are gravity and air resistance.
Which encounters the greater force of air resistance a falling elephant or a falling feather?
A falling elephant encounters a greater force of air resistance than a falling feather does. The force of air resistance can't be greater than the weight of the falling object. When the force of air resistance is equal to the weight of the falling object, the object stops accelerating, its falling speed becomes constant, and the force of air resistance doesn't get any bigger. So the force of air resistance against a falling feather can't be greater than the weight of the feather. But the force of air resistance against a falling elephant can be, and undoubtedly is, greater than the weight of a feather.
What are the forces acting on an object falling through the air?
Air resistance and gravity.
What force acts on a object?
The forces acting on a falling body are gravity and air resistance.
What is the net force that acts on a 10N falling object when it encounters 4N of air resistance?
The net force is the difference between the 10N falling object and the 4N of air resistance So you solve 10N-4N is 6N
When the only force acting on force a falling object is air resistance the object is said to be in free fall?
True (:
When a 25 n falling object encounters 15 n of air resistance the net force on it is.?
25-15= 10n
When the only force acting on a falling object is air resistance the object is said to be in free fall. true or false?
true
When the only force acting on falling object is air resistance the object is said to be in free fall True or false?
true
When the only force acting on a falling object is air resistance the object is said to be in free fall true or false?
true
What is air resistance and how does it affect a falling object?
Air resistance is the force acting on an object moving in air that tends to slow it down or produce drag. If a stone is falling, air resistance will be acting on it to try to slow it. Should we consider a jet moving through air, air resistance will be providing drag to slow the jet down.
